ABSTRACT

The quality of a product or process is checked before it is put into large-scale usage. The quality of the product, its performance, and its reliability are the key factors while testing is performed. Textile testing is a vital basic tool during the processing of a textile raw material into the product. Textile testing refers to the procedures adopted to determine quality throughout the textile product chain. Textile testing can be classified according to the basic technique used and on the basis of the data obtained. Testing importantly supports the personnel involved in the textile supply chain, from the textile fiber to the end product. In the material process from fiber to yarn to fabric, the variations in properties smooth out during the assembly of small variable units into large units. Zoning is a popular technique for fiber as it is used for selecting samples from raw material such as cotton or wool or other loose natural fibers.
